Media and Public Shaming

The book explores the contentious relationship between the media and public figures, particularly regarding the disclosure of private information. It examines the justification of 'naming and shaming' wrongdoings by journalists while questioning the validity of exposing legal personal behaviors and family issues. Contributions from academics and journalists across cultures analyze the media's entitlement to reveal private details, the existing laws governing these practices, and their relevance in the era of social media.
